Lindsey took some shots of me... and I have to say WAHOO I got my confidence back... I try not to show it but since Katie fell a couple years ago at a walk, a full-out run has caused shaky stomack and weak knees and pounding heart... and getting bucked off Luna last summer on this ride didn't help any. Today I pushed Katie through the patterns and let her GO HOME as fast as she wanted with NONE OF THAT!!! The classes I have been taking with Barb have helped so much, and the endurance rides and training...
No particular order on these pictures, just how blogger loaded them... they are portions of 3 separate events.
Luna learned about patience as well as the gymkhana patterns...
Clancy and Cheyenne jumping... love these action shots!!
I did get one still shot of Lindsey and Luna
But mostly I took videos of the girls, so here they are if you have any interest... I would love it if you would at least take the time to check out Linz and Luna doing Barrels... considering this is only Luna's second time in the arena, and the first time was this gymkhana last year... I am thrilled with her first two turns! She went wide on the 3rd barrel because she was trying to run right and go home, and Linz was urging her left toward the barrel... but all in all, I think she is doing fantastic!!! I just may have to get back into the gymkhana game with this mare! I'll be interested to hear from Mikey and from CarrollFarm on this... so here we go:

The club threw in a "new" pattern, 3 barrels and 3 poles placed randomly, each rider can choose to do them in ANY order they wish so long as each item is circled ONE TIME... it was very interesting to watch the different choices and the difference it made in times...
